Thankful Sunday

Well I was thankful to go to church with my whole family! Adam hasn't been around for a few Sundays so that was nice!
I am thankful Lucas loves his new train tracks, he was thrilled!
I love that our tree is up, it looks lovely, Adam and Allie picked out this adorable fat tree it is beautiful, I love the magic that a Christmas tree creates. The light it puts off, the looks on my kids faces, all of our cute crazy ornaments.
I love Christmas time!
I am thankful for Adam helping me move around our living room, the curtains and the way it is set up now makes it feel so much more Homey I don't know why but it is beautiful and warm and full of love to me.
I am thankful for all of our friends who have approached us and offered to help with our kids if our baby comes early. It is nice to know we have people we can call.
I am thankful that I have such a sweet family, Adam is the best, he has been so fun to be around this long weekend, he has been semi relaxed and it has been so nice to see him like that! I can't wait till he is done this semester and his board examinations, it should be so much more laid back for him, which will pass on to us!
I am thankful for Jesus who was born to save us all, I am so excited to celebrate this holiday season, it is my favorite time of year!
OH and by the way, I won something! I won a new Christmas CD from a online giveaway, I am so excited! I picked Matt Belsante, White Christmas, I have never heard of this guy but it sound cool...So go check out List Mama, she has some cool stuff on her site!

Lucas is 2!

November 30th, 2008 makes my Lucas a Two year old!
I can't believe it was already 2 years ago this little crazy man joined our family! He is wonderful, and I am so thankful to have him as part of our family! Luke we all love you so much and hope you have a great birthday. He was so tiny and swollen!

PS, Take note of the days left till #3 is due! 25!!!! YIKES! I can't believe it!

Happy Thanksgiving...

Yummy, hopefully today's bird will be as yummy as last years, and the year be fores and the year be fores! I hope everyone has a Fabulous day with family and friends and remembering the many blessings we have and being Thankful for all we have. I hope everyone this holiday season will find some small way to share of our plenty, I know many of us don't have a LOT but we have enough and what a blessing that is! I have challenged my little family to look for good things we can do for others throughout the season, Small or large we may never know the impact of our actions. So smile a little bigger, and help others in need! I love you all, and wish you the most wonderful, beautiful holiday yet!

Adam is out in the cold running the Worlds oldest road race the Turkey Trot, I hope he does well or at least makes it! It is pretty cold, at least for me I am sure he is going to do great! The kids are getting ready for a fun day with friends, we have a craft center set up, and we are getting ready to watch the parade which we have never done before. Hopefully they like it! Oh and the other news is that I finally finished my curtains! Can you believe it???? We need to get a rod to hang it with and then I will take pictures and show you!
I had a Doc appointment yesterday all is well, baby is funny she had the hiccups when we were listening to her heart, it was funny to heart bump bump HICK bump bump Hick! I am excited to see her cuteness! Well I guess that is all! Take care Love Chantel

Just some fun

Not much has been going on here, just hanging out trying to make it through the days, I am more tired and worn out, I am so glad Adam is home for a while! We have a busy week though we are having 8 people and 5 kids for Thanksgiving, but that means I am not making Everything so that is great! We have some plans for cleaning, like renting a Rug Doctor since our carpets are nasty. And hunting through the basement again for my normal clothes, maybe running out to Rochester to take the kids to the museum?! I would like to get some Christmas shopping done since I am so close to being ALL done! Just Allie and Adam and stockings left... not bad... and Allie and Adam I just need a few things for since I already have some of theirs done. Then I guess I need to round it all up and wrap it! So I have a Doc appointment tomorrow, I really and so sick of doctors I don't want to go! But whatever! Hopefully sooner than later this baby will be done cooking and I can not be pregnant! Yeah! Well below are a few pictures for fun, first is our "puppy" Happy Girl Cutie... Allie is obsessed, Really!

Cheesy girl!The silliest boy I know! He loves his Bubble...(taking a bath)

Random thoughts...

Well today I had a Dr appointment, all went well, Babies heartbeat was great, measuring great, only gained 1 pound GREAT! But they wanted to know if I was ready to have this baby...Hmm, am I? I don't think I really am yet! Don't get me wrong I am totally ready to be done being pregnant, but I don't know if I am ready for Labor! And Baby afterward, I guess give me a few more wks, hopefully then I will be ready.
Adam is gone to Utah, he will be back Sunday, he is excited cause his Mom is going to take him to Body worlds, YUCK! I am so glad not to have to go to that! He has his interview Friday, and Saturday he is going to watch the BYU/Utah game at his Grandpa's house. Then coming home Sunday. Then he will be home for a week and a half of which he has 5 days off school!!! YEAH! I am so excited! It will be so nice to have some time with him! As for his Indiana interview it went well he really liked it there, and he visited the Inidanapolis Motor Speedway and even did a lap around the track, wow! :O)

I was thinking about something strange the other day, come Jan. 26th we will know were we are going for sure but by June we will be living in one of 7 places...
1. Buffalo (different house Bigger!)
2. DC
3. Indianapolis
4. Salt Lake
5. Dallas
6. Cincinati
7. Chicago
Kinda weird huh? That is just so strange to me! I can't believe the time is here already, We have lived here for almost 4 year! Adam has 6 months left of school before he is a Doctor!
Well lets just say the night of Jan. 25th, I am going to be having a hard time sleeping, and not due to our newest baby! The news comes Via email on Jan. 26th in the morning sometime... Crazy huh? Well I guess I have a lot to keep me busy till then! At least I am almost done Christmas shopping!
I have also been busy being Crafty, I have some projects going, I need to make it to Walmart sometime to get some ribbon for some aprons I am making... and I made this pearl braclet at the Craft night at church, and I am still needing to finish my curtians! I know I know! Soon! Soon!

Well here are some random pictures for you to enjoy!Somewhere down there I do have feet!

I wish I had these sheets!

If I had an extra 100 dollars, I would LOVE to get these sheets! Micro-fleece Sheets? Sounds like heaven to me!?!?! The Company Store knows where it is at!

The best day Ever!

Allie had a pretty good day she was a little cranky from being tired but she had her Best buddy Rylee over today, and Rylee brought her a Dora Dolly, from us she got the rubber princess dolly, and 2 pairs of pants and the skirt I made her. Then we were invited to our friends house for dinner and Family home evening... They got her a pink poodle webkins, Allie loves it! They made us a fantastic dinner of which I ate WAY too much, and then cake YUMMY and Ice cream, I pigged out, I admit it! I am still pregnant right? (Thanks Eliza! It was so nice to come over! The food was fabulous! and the Company was too!)Then we came home got pj's on and hung out waiting for Daddy to get home, then the best surprise of all...We went to go out the door to get Adam and Allie starts screaming MOM COME HERE YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS!!!! Yup you guessed it Snow! about an inch in an hour! The kid were Thrilled!

Allie's snow Angel! She was so excited to play in the snow at 10pm, she said to Adam, Come on daddy play with me in the snow it will make me so happy, and since you didn't get me a present I will be sad unless you play in the snow with me! Guilt much?

Happy Happy Birthday!

How did my sweet little girl grow so fast?

Hanging out with Aunty Amy, Milan and Sofia, yup you can see all of the top of her head, I requested Adam take pictures of the baby, but well you know... he forgot...Not ONE! (with more than the top of her head)They made new friends!They went to the DC temple...My girl is such a model every picture of her she is Posing in!
Allie had a blast and didn't really miss me and Luke at all much to my sadness! Oh well I guess I raised an independent kid!

Things I have done....(Thankful Sunday)

Well first off I have been hanging out with this Handsome devil! My boy is dang cute! He is such a love! I am thankful for this time to be with just him. Tomorrow we plan to go to the library, and guess what ? It snowed here so some playing in the snow is on the plate now too!

Made this skirt for Allie, I have had this fabric for a while but hadn't gotten around to it till now, what a pain in the butt that fabric is, it frays and frays, I cut it with pinking shears and still fray! Glad that is done! I think it is pretty cute!

also made a new freezer pack for my eyes, really Mostly Adam uses it for his head and the kids for ouchies but hey whatever! I love love love this fabric by the way...

Yup and I finished this bag, and realized that it is totally screwed up... well I knew that to begin with but I thought it only had one problem, now I realize it has two the handles are on the wrong side...DUH Oh well it will work for a church bag or whatever!

Fixed up our thankful turkey on the wall, I think he is pretty cute!

My sweeties are coming home tomorrow night, I am so excited, I miss them so much! The house is way too quiet without them! I am sooo thankful for my family, for my warm bed with Adam in it, too cold with out him! I am thankful he wasn't here last night though cause I was up most of the night with my cold and couldn't breath! It was fun to get so many crafts done in one day, I need to do that more often! What else can I make??????
